Happy AmeriCorps Week!

This week, we are celebrating the work of AmeriCorps in
communities across the nation.

Specific to our Sacramento region, United Way California
Capital Region acts as the intermediary site by partnering with
other nonprofits to place AmeriCorps VISTA members in various
sites. AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) serve
a one-year term in underserved communities to fight poverty by
building capacity. Currently, United Way has 14 active VISTAs
serving throughout the region. They are hard at
work, helping in different capacities in the areas
of food insecurity, homelessness, heath, education, and
financial stability.
